There is no defense in ignorance and that is so within the law. Staying safe calls for the client to be able to have awareness of the laws that there are.

The state that one is in tends to have different laws and more so the hit and run laws and they keep varying even in others. The consequences that there are with the hit and run are dire even though the drivers keep committing the hit and run which is so common. The mistakes can be costly and that is why the client should be able to make sure that they can avoid them. The client has to make sure that they consider understanding the different scopes that there are of these laws.

The abilities that the drivers have and their knowledge of the traffic rules is what most of the drivers’ tests are after. What the client should be able to do is to know what they should do in some of the cases and because they know of nothing, they tend to flee when they are faced by a minor problem. The hit and run situation is covered by a number of laws and the client has to make sure that they are able to follow them.

There is the first one which is the duty to render aid. Aid has to be rendered by the parties that there are and that includes helping the injured as well as making sure that one offers the information for future redress. Not rendering aid or convincing someone not to offer aid is a felony and can be counted as criminal intent.

The duty to report is yet another scope that the client should be familiar with in the hit and run laws. The right information is able to get to the people and that is because the reporting is able to keep law enforcement on the loop. Property damage is the other scope that the client should know of. Property struck by the vehicle should be reported to both the owner and the authorities and that owner if not readily available should be notified and the contact information left.

The other balance that the client should look at is the public vs private. In the past, only hit and run accidents that happened in the public spaces were considered felonies but today, this has changed. Because they can be considered as hit and run, the parking accidents have to be reported too. The client is able to stay safe once they can be able to ensure that they understand all of these scopes.
